Problem with voter registration - text
One of the computers was down, but it was fixed pretty quick.
Said I wasn't a registered Republican when I am.
There really wasn't a problem. It wasn't clear which desk I was to go to to vote. I ended up going to all three before voting.
i made the problem no knew how to spaek english so i was compaling
my drivers license erroneously had my middle name first
they could not get electronic voting to work
Independent Voters of Oklahoma canNOT vote in Primaries
They couldn't find the guys name before me. They finally found it.
I had changed party affiliation so I could vote in the primary, but the records still reflected GREEN party registration.

My voting precinct had been changed, but I had not been notified or issued a new voter's registration card.
My wifes party affiliation was dropped from her registration so she could not vote.
No heating and it was literally freezing in there
Our street divided into two sub-sections, sent back and forth before finding name listing.
card defect, had to be issued a new card
I heard on the news that as an Independent I was supposed to check that somewhere on the ballot or my presidential vote wouldn't count. I did not see this and am now wondering if my vote counted.
They fussed because I did not have my voters registration card. I never do. I had something better. My drivers license. They did not seem to agree with my preference.
not for me, but some people had to fill out provisional ballots because they were confused about being able to vote for a different party. Just wonder if these provisional ballots have been counted
The poll worker could not find me in the computer. After an extensive search, she found me registered in the system.
They couldn't find my name. It was in the wrong boook.
There was some concern that the electronic reader wasn't counting the votes correctly as expressed by a precinct worker there.
I had some questions about the delegate voting no-one seemed to know the answer
Apparently, I missed a piece of mail that was sent to me and my voter registration was set to inactive. This was easily corrected at the polling place.
I went to the wrong place, (Grand Ave Baptist v. First Baptist Church) and had to call to find the right place, other than that there were no problems.
my wife has the voter registration ID card, she forgot her license at home, but she come the same time with me, they still don't let her vote
I had the wrong card, but they accepted it.
They gave me a Democratic ballot by mistake.
I did not send back town census - had to do this first before voting

new paper ballots, w/ no directions from staff.

Problems getting absentee ballot - text
late arrival, didn't arrive until 2/1/08
I misunderstood directions and drew too thick a line
I had no problem. Your survey won't accept my answer by jumping down to yes before I could go on, as is usual for surveys. I have written you on this before.
The county did not mail me the ballot for some reason, I had to go to the court house and follow the cleck to the U.S. Post Office then receive my ballot.

Length of time in line - text
the first took about line took about 10 minutes the second one took 55 and over all the whole prosses tooko over an hour

Problems with voting equipment or ballot - text
some confusion about whether or not the machine was actually counting the vote on the ballot
After voting I put my ballot in a machine that apparently I shouldn't have. I was not instructed properly.
Line was thicker than it should have been
I didn't get to vote for the penny tax, just for president
"connecting the arrow" using a single line was not made clear until AFTER I had connected the arrows using a thick line. When I asked the poll workers, they said they had done their ballots just as I had - we do not know if our votes will count. It seems
it got a little confusing a the end - i couldn't figure out how to actually cast it - it just kept asking me to review it. which is kind of good, i gues, but very annoying after the first five minutes.
They gave me the wrong ballot for the voting machine
Machine would not give me a copy of my ballot, tho I asked for one
not with ballot but my canidate dropped out after voting
It would not register my selection after several tries. I had to call a poll worker over, who also had trouble. Finally, he was able to get it to recognize my selection. It was very unnerving, and made me wonder if this had happened to others.
instructions not clear on touchscreen voting - when finished it was vague as to how to proceed
no republican canditates for senate seat
It was a punch system, and the first time I did it, the punch somehow did not penetrate the ballot. I had to redo it and the second time punched harder.
I thought the levers (NYC) did not match up very well with the names on the ballot.
We do the hole punch variety and it never seems to fit comfortable, so you always wonder if you wind up voting for the person you really wanted to vote for.
They did not have written receipts showing exactly who I had voted for, which is what I would like. Much like the receipt I get when I make a bank deposit.
Since I am a registered Republican, I couldn't vote for Obama. They can all go to hell. I will never vote again.
was handed wrong pen, had to go over lines with correct pen after machine refused to read ballot.
The precinct worker was concerned that the electronic reader was not counting the votes on the ballots as they passed thru the machine.
poll worker did not know how to have me use a paper ballot, and tried to steer me onto an electronic machine; no pen was immediately available
There were canidiates listed whom had already dropped out of the race.....this changes the vote tally....we saw people voting for candidates no longer in the race....what the heck is that???
The people at the voting facility had no idea there was a green party ballot available. Not only did I have to request it, but I had to inform them of its existance and look for it.
couldn't figure out how to mark the ballot
Machine wouldn't record my vote at first
ran out of batteries in ballot selection device
They could not answer my question about a paper trail
I don't know if my vote was counted because it was an electronic voting machine.
We used paper ballots for the first time, after I filled it out, there was no one at the machine to enter the ballot or show which slot it had to go in. Once someone did come over, they could see exactly who I voted for when showing me where to put the ba
Candidates who had withdrawn from the primary were still included on the ballat, which made it somewhat confusing.
The poll worker had trouble getting the machine to come on properly
The first station I put the card into must have been damaged because the card wouldn't stay in. So I moved to another station.
the machine wouldn't register my choice at first.
We have new voting technology and I put my vote into the machine upside down and I didn't see the counter move when I inserted my vote. I complained and was told my vote would be counted and it didn't matter that I put it in upside down. I hope that's tru
you can esily be confused by what was on the ballit i had no idea there would be 17 name and most of the people on there were nt recognisible
it was a touch screen i never saw a piece of paper to show my vote was counted-next time i will do it by ballot
i could not understand why rudy guilianis name was still on the ballot when he had dropped out so those peoples vote would wasted
the touch screen where you touched the screen wass who you voted for i touched the screen and it went to the wrong person and i had to back up
when i voted for one candidate it cast a vot e for a different candidate and i had to cancel and go back and do it again
i had to press the button 5 or 6 times before it took
i didn''t realize there was a zero on the ballot and i put one
i wanted to vote electronicly, but the machines were down, so i had to do it manually
they had a ballot that did not have the local things on it it was a misprint
i am quadraoeligic so my husband had to put in the information
they didnt have people that knew what they were doing the machines nether republican or demacrat were working
i think it was stupid thing that only democrats and reublican could vote.
it was a new machine they had to show me how to punch in the numbers
when i stuck the card in the card showed that that person had already voted but i called a poll worker over to fix it
it was just the ink the machine couldnt read it the first time
it was electronic machine hard to figuer out

Party primary of choice - text
GREEN - but I wrote in the candidate of my choice - I don't know if it will count or not... (:-(((

Reason 'very confident' vote counted as intended
I still have faith in this country and it's people. I trust my vote will be counted.
I experienced no problems voting or getting my vote to register; the paper print-out, which I was automatically allowed to inspect, confirmed my electronic vote.
it's counted as the popular vote so that the electorial voters may see who their state wants
I prefer voting absentee for the convenience and because I think paper balloting is the most dependable, though not perfect.
I have never heard of a problem in the past and everything went smoothly. There has been nothing about having a problem in Ga at the polls.
I have faith in the election system in place. I've never had a problem voting in fifteen years...why wouldn't I have every confidence?
We had the new touch screen ballots and after I voted I watched it print and roll on into the machine.
I put it in the scanner myself, why wouldn't it count. I am concerned, however, that the fact the nice old ladies at the polling place didn't ask for my picture ID leads me to belive anyone could walk in with a card and vote.
I trust the polling center..and the volunteers...and my district
We have not had any major issues with the tallying of votes in our town
Past history and a belief that locally here in Tennessee things work.
Arizona does not have a history of Republicans stealing votes.
Rading the town demographics for the election. history of the county in monitoring elections. Knowledge of poll workers
I was a poll judge and know everything went as expected.
Such a big deal is made about doing one's civic responsibility that I just assume that when we come through and vote, our choice is counted correctly.
I always feel confident at my polling place. I feel there is impartiality there. There is no tampering with the new system. I trust them there.
The machines are electronic. I trust them more than a hand count...
The professionalism at the polls and I voted on the computer and it seemed to function quite efficiently.
That the ballot was electronic, the primary was the only item on the ballot, that the ballot was so simple, and a general belief in the basic comeptence of people.
No problem with the ballot going into the machine
Why wouldn't it be? This is Georgia, not Florida. The ballots here are quite easy to understand.
This ia a Dem.town politics very important
Use of OCR machinery means a paper record exists. Impossible to miss-mark a ballot.
I "felt" my vote was counted because I have no evidence to the contrary. I don't "know" my vote was counted. (This is not a very intelligent question.)
We don't have problems with the way voting is handled here. It is run very professionally and I trust the voting process in our city, county and state.
I live in a small town with multiple polling places and have never encountered any problems with voting. People in this county are very honest.

The old ladies at the polls are very serious and have been doing it for years and years.
I trust the people at the place I cast my vote
It was a paper ballot and I saw it entered into the counting machine.
I followed instructions and have no reason to doubt the process

We have good voting machines in our area.
The way in which everything was handled.
I live in a small community where you know all the poll workers. Any shenanegans are highly unlikely.
There have never been any problems with voting irregularities in my town.
The final outcome was about what I expected
i did put it in the machine they had there for the ballots
The former Secretary of State in GA (Cathy Cox - D) did an excellent job managing the change over from paper to electronic voting after the FL debacle in 2000. It took a democrat (and dare I say - a woman) to run the best operation in the State.
My town uses paper ballots. I trust paper ballots.
I was informed that all the votes counted, took an oath and believe in my state and country.
The competence of the machine and the people overseeing the polls
Problems with the voting machines seem to have been resolved earlier. Reported vote totals in the district seem to correspond with past elections.
The ballot was inserted into an automatic reader.
It always has been... We use machines...
I watched the ballot register in the machine and the results were posted outside the voting place after the polls closed.
able to see the vote on paper to the side of the machine

I only had to vote for one person and the ballot went through the ballot reader without any problems
There have been major efforts made in Knox County to assure that votes are properly counted.
Election tampering is not commonly done.
Obama won my County, so I guess others voted for him too. There were no problmes at my upper class white suburban polling place.
I marked the correct name and the computer acknowledged my vote when I fed it in.
I felt that it was. My polling place is very good and I think that they put in the voting results to the election officials and that it was counted. I have to believe this or else why should I vote.
I placed the ballot in the machine and saw the counter increase by 1.
My town hs the scan voting machines and there were no problems in accessing the machine or with the machine when it was used. I even asked if there had been any problems that day (I voted late) and was told that there were none.
simplicity of voting, smallness of the community, the people who manned the voting
I believe in the proccess in the way we cast our votes
The touch screen apparatus, has the printed reciept,as well as a hard drive , I believe it would take to much time to alter this process
Based on the efficiency of the pollworkers, the polling place, the ballot, etc.
The ballot was put into the computerized counter when I finished
Trust in the voting system in the county.
I do not believe in conspiracy. Why wouldn't my vote be counted as intended?
I filled out the form correctly and I have faith in our County Elections Department
there is no reason for me not to feel confident about my vote being counted. the only reason some people might feel that way is because of the media hyping every little thing that might go wrong somewhere in the US
A paper ballot was shown to me before I submitted.
The voting system is deemed infaliable in its' accuracy and accounting. Paper ballot thru an electronic scanning system.
I'm not a conspiracy theorist? Is that simple enough?
Worked the polls in AZ for three years. Know the process, checks and balances.
There is a paper ballot. And my precinct went to Obama.
No reason to think otherwise. As a computer professional, I know how easy it is to make those machines secure.
It's done by machine not people. Not that a machine couldn't make a mistake somehow but people I wouldn't trust anymore.
Our County Election Department is very good. Having worked the polls in previous elections, I have a lot of confidence in our County Elections Clerk-Recorder.
I personally know the poll workers and I trust them.
The system has been around for years and I see no reason to question it's validity
I trust the system and there has not been anything in Arizona to change that.
Because there wasn't any confusion with the ballot. I had choices of only Republican candidates.
I have confidence in the integrity of the election commission in the city where I live and vote. They have a good record.
The concrete evidence is the result in our state. Another confidence booster was the atmosphere at my polling place--clean, efficient, helpful, no signs of bias, professional in every way.
previously worked as a poll watcher so I know the process
You filled in the oval on the ballot and put the ballot into a machine that counted the votes.
Our town clerk runs a very smooth operation

I have been an election judge and know the process
My ballot was scanned immediately as it went into a locked box. It looked as if the box was hooked up electronically somewhere, so that information was transmitted.
No problems. Confidence in the "system".
From all appearances, everything worked as it should and I just saw no reason to doubt that it did.
I know the people working at the polling station
Because my polling area was run by honest people with integrity, courtesy and all business. I came prepared with my voter registration card, my drivers licsence and asked if they wanted my liscense which they did. They gave excellent instructions on votin
Efficient poll workers; apparently good equipment; experience in past elections.
There have never been any issues in my area - and when there are issues - it's usually dirty tricks played by DEMOCRATS - who are the ones whining about voter ID, etc.

I go to this place all the time and the same people was working the polling place.
We have those old voting machines that I think WORK!
I trust the election officials and the equipment to work properly.
After casting the ballot we drop it into an electronic machine that records the vote. I'm assuming the machine works.
I believe in our town's voting system and the integrity of the precinct workers, plus I happen to know many of them.
I have previously worked as a precinct judge so very aware of procedure - and I trust my local election officials
It was cast in private and appeared to rgister. The results of towns vote was published in todays local newspaper. The turn out was very high for a state with many independent voters. HOWEVER I WOULD PERFER A PAPER RECORD NOT MADE BY A MAJOR CONTRIBUTER T
Never had a problem in the past here at this place, have no reason to suspect there is a problem now.
I fed the ballot into the counter and saw the number roll over to the next number.
Because I've never had a problem with absentee voting in the past.
I do not believe we have problems in California as experienced in other states such as Florida.
Trust in the system - naive, I know, but what else has one got?

I'm sure it got entered in to the system correctly if that's how I'm understanding the question.
I think that there are strict guidelines that they ahve to follow
Before I pushed the button as my final vote, I was shown a paper trail of my vote. First time I've had that in my district.
The voting process is efficient and correct.
The efficiency of the process. Also, I checked the numbers I marked on my scan ballot after I voted with the corresponding numbers on flip card the ballot was inserted into to verify that I voted correctly.
We live in a small town and personally know most of the people working at the polling place. They are very reliable and knowledgeable people.
we had new machines and it was quite simple
I placed the ballot in the machine and I am assuming that it was counted correctly. It was in a church that I am familiar with, so I don't think there was any kind of fraud.
Because barak wikk be our next president
I worked as a pollwatcher and watched the count.
Elestronic voting machine appeared to function properly
In my city we have a paper trail so that if we needed to recount the trail would be available.
I was a challenger, and had a copy of the tape in my hands.
have never experienced a problem in the past. Besides, I voted for Edwards, and his votes should have been easy to count.
I have no reason not to think that it was not counted as intended. If there was a question as to the validity of absentee voting I wouldn't do it.
Electronically counted, with a paper backup.
I fed the ballot into the machine and it counted that I was the 162nd person to vote at our precinct. I did not hand it over to any human hands.
You have to believe that the voting system works.
Because I voted by machine and my candidate won my state!!
I marked the ballot correctly and I put it in the machine.
the scanner system used in Oklahoma is very dependable
Paper ballot reader appeared to function properly.
The optical scanner is programmed to reject a ballot if there is a problem
I trust the counters at our local Precinct, as they are neighbors and have been dedicated to this for years.
I have never had any problems at my polling place and I have been voting there for at least6 years. Also the person I voted for won my state.
this was a very important election primary
I mailed it early, so I am confident it was included in the count.
Paper ballot with optical scanners have been in use in Tulsa, Oklahoma for many, many years with out any problems. They provide quick tabulation with the ability to perform a recount with the actual paper ballot should there be a disputed outcome.

Third time for this type of polling equipment. Able to watch computer update as form is scanned
What specifically would make me think othewise?
it was an electronic machine, but there was a paper backup that printed for you to look at before it actually was submitted. It seems like the safest bet - electronic but with a strong paper backup.

the way it was run the way i filled out baallot and i gave to the person

i am familiar with the eltronic system that they use
just because i think everything ran smoothly at out precient and i think we have vary nhonest people there
i followed the instructions and put it in tyhe scanner myself
they counted them as soon as we were finished voteing
i had to believe that the machine was right.
Because things were run smoothly in the voting procedure
It just seemed to be very organized and efficient
I would just have to say that we live in a rural community and all of the prople at the polling place and I am very confident in their abilities and integrity
it was very easy to fill out then i put it in the machince and it was counted
because i used a paper ballot and i know it was accepted by the machine
the people seem to know what they were doing then i put it in the machine
just belief that it was run in the propper manner
i know all the people that were there and everything was done in order
the county i live in is republican and this is the first time demacrats won
i just think they knew what they were doin down there
the fact that there is a very good record for having proper results
we''ve never had any problem in this area
the results are always recorded fairly and quickly
i voted electroncally and it show my vote
i just trusted the people there to count it
i think because of the past election people take better care to count them
when i got done they put it in a machine and said your ready to go
the way things are run here and they are well organized and it is not computerized
well isaw it go intop the ballot boix and i saw it counted
because they seemed they were interested in their job
they were paper ballots that were scanned i liked the methodology
experience with the voting... confidence
we voting tabulator the machine that it goes into it automatically counts it
just because its a choice i decided to have
i have a hard time believing that they would change your vote
the process seems fine there were no complications
because i know the people who worked there... all was electronicly
accurate counting they will get every vote
i watched my ballot be ran through the automatic counting machinme
it was put into a machine... ill presume it was
i voted and stuck in the machine the way it went
the procedure the area in which i live the mechanism by which the vote was taken
i took a paper ballot as opposed to an electronic ballot
believe that we got a pretty good prcessing place
it went really smooth the apparatus that they used was very efficient
i have worked as an election judge for years and i know how the process works
there is no crookedness in the smaller mid west towns
they scanned it in to the machine it seemed pretty easy
i put it into the voting counting machine and they picked it up and moved it from there
everything worked out find everything was the way it should have been

there were no problems and i assumed it was counted
i guess they counted it, dont know why they wouldnt...
well you vote and you hope that they count them up right
well it was the man i voted for and he took the state so
i looked at the tab afterwards and before
I guess I trust the people running the polls
machines ran in a way that i am occustumed to
it was a recannical machine it worked as it was designed to
still using the regular old machines there clunky but reliable
theres never any troubles and never any complaints
numbers of voters i know about how many people vote in my county and the numbers looked right there was no real discrapensy
living her 20 years i know all the people involved i''m involved in the processs here
I have never heard of any problems with voting in new york state/ they were proven voting machines/ I have used them for 35 years
Because I have lived here long enough to just know and to trust everyone
BEcause I just feel that the way that things were set up was was more like a business affair/ everything went smooth as silk
Because I listen to the debates wether it is republican or democrat
Just because I come from a small town of honest people
just through the proseces of counting votes
nothing specific i just have a postive outlook on it
Other poeple that I have spoken to voted the same way
i work at the polls and know how they work
ive seen how the mechincale machines work
Because after you voted and you opened the curtain there was a light on the side that lit up/ I think thats what it was/ in other words I think it was saying that the machine counted the vote
There were no problems the machine worked fine so I had no reason to believe that it was not counted
Our community is run by good honest people
i assume it was done properly i have been voteing for many years
The machine worked/ They were very good about signing in
I think the fact that she is a very well known and intelligent woman/ I think she has had alot of experience/ And she certianly is aquainted with alot of very influential people
i been voting at the same place for 30 years and never incountered a problem befor
it is just a small place and im pretty sure it got taken care of
everything ran very well/ we are using the old machines and I have never had a problem with them
because it should be that is why i voted
i dont know it just must have been counted
I just trust the people that were taking the vote
from past experience i have never had any problems before
good voting machines and living in a weathy area and not have crum bums around to mess wwith the machines
I do not know/ I just knew that it was counted/ I had no reason to question it
This is a small town and I know some of the poll workers
It was the first time New Yorkers could actually vote in the primary
i have lived in this community a long itme and they ahve a long record of good results the machines they have are excellent even thought the federal government is try ing to get rid of them
I hope the system works/ The democratic process is iin thprocess of working
because i know the process and how the machines work
Because these people have been down here for years/ I am very confident that it was counted right
I do not know/ It was just run very straight forward/ I have never heard of any problems in my district
I worked with the machines in the past and I have heard nothing about machine trouble
NOthing in particular/ I just have faith in the democratic party
I guess the machines worked/ I have not heard of any problems over there
Because I did not encounter any problems
I just felt that Mccain is on top of things/ He seems to be a man that knows what he is doing and will fight for what is right
Just the many years that I have been voting and the experience of the poll inspectors/There has never been a problem
I have used the machines before and I think they are reliable
I was th fifth one that voted and it was a new machine
I am a poll worker and I knew the machine was working properly
i think all the votes here are counted as intended
i would not have nay reason to think other wise
the nature of the machine it was one of those that you dialed not a touch screen
i guess oi just trust them the people at the voting place
because i knowed those people aLL my life
it was published on a website this morning and i agreed with the numbers.
well ah the results of the election- huckabee got it in the state of tennesee
i guess i relied on the computer to be accurate
the =polls are run well and i have faithi in the system
well i can do is trust the machine that''s all

um the computer system is very clear and you hit a button an d see the american flag waving and you are done
i''m to trustworthy -we are losing faith in the system as time goes by
uh they had very good structure at the polling place
well because of the people conducting it they were very confident in what they did
they need to be born again and accept god
well when i saw in the newspaper and the democratic votes casted there was unallys large amout of demecatic votes in that precient even in my whole county there was a large democratic vote
um i just have no doubt that it is i have no doubt in the machines
I have voted there before and have never had a problem
um well i guess i trusted the workers and the equipment
because the people who run the polls is vary honest
it just seemed like honestand good people
i''m in the army that is what i fight for
i donno i just feel like when you push the button it goes to where its supossed to
because its electronically done and that the officials want want the elections to be fair
i have no reasson to belive it wasnt counted
well romdney took this county and i have no reason no bleive otherwise
i donno i guess i usume i trust the system that they have in place
just knowlage of how the earlyvotes are set up and here and the history of the area
you have to turst some people and iv b een voteing there for years
it was very profesional there was no confusion at all
Every was run as it should have been/ I have no reason to believe that it was not counted
I just know the people at the precinct/ They do everything by the book
the voting machines i cast my vote and saw the machine took it
i did exactly what she said and everything worked just like she said it would
just figued the machine was honost the got the resaults from that
that just what i expect thats the way it suppost to be
i dont know i just took it for granted that it would be counted
because they have never had passed truble in that area
i did not have a reason not to think it was not counted
i just trust it i asume that it is counted
where you push the last button it vairvies your vote
i never had any reason to dubt that it wouldnt be
i just have alot of confidence in them and the machince
why wouldnt it i was there when the machine counted it
nothing was reported saying they had issue with it
well the machine is suppost to record the vote
because i voted in the united states and thats my rigt and its protected
i put it in to the machine myself thats counts the votes and everything was done in an orderly manner
theres enough people for both party''s and they keep each other accountable
well you have to have trust in something
i trust the people there its a good process its important for every american to vote
officence that the voting place was handled
i hope that it was cast i feel confident that it was
i did it correctly and vote has been cast
the was only one vote cast and that was for barack obama
i just thought its a machine so i figure it was counted
well it did not acure to me that it wouldnt be counted

Reason 'somewhat confident' vote counted as intended
I'm not sure that I trust the whole process.
I have to trust the counters, for I was not present when they opened the ballots and counted them.
The precinct workers expressed concerns that the ballot reading machine was not actually reading the vote registered on the ballot.
I know the poll workers, and the outcome was as predicted.
I don't entirely trust that electronic voting machines are hacker-proof, as I've read articles in which hackers were able to hack into voting machines in about 30 seconds. Also, I have no way of knowing whether the machine broke down aftee I voted. So, I'
Loss of trust in the whole system nation wide!
nothing specific, im mostly sure it did, but there is always doubt, given so much noise and complaints every year.
Well, we have had some questions about the security of the new electronic voting system in NJ. I would assume the fears are largely groundless, but there is that tiny bit of doubt.
Just making a statement, too much media push drove too many good candidates out of the election process before primaries - at this point I have no preference on the Democratic side. Another year I'll vote without caring.
I had trouble getting it mailed off. Not sure if they got it in time for the count.
I asked about how the votes would be verified if there needed to be a recount. I was given a reasonable answer.
There have not been any problems ever mentioned at this poll.
The election personnel are all well-trained and first class.
Hopefully the election board is on top of things.
The past problems across the country makes me very skeptical
the judges didn't seem sure of what they were doing or what needed to be filled out or initialed.
There is no paper trail for the electronic voting system.
Difficult to trust anything political these days
I sent it in and can only pray that it is counted
poll workers were very knowledgable and professional
I used an electronic voting machine. There has been so much in the news over the past few months about the problems with these machines that I'm not sure my vote was properly counted.
No problems with ballot. I know it was completed correctly as I intended.
There was an issue with ballots on a local election a few years ago which was questionable.
I'm not sure if I correctly filled in the lines to vote for each ballot measure. I did it in a hurry and am not sure if the line I filled in was thick enough.
As election votes are tallied there a slight chance or possiblity that they may not be done right.
Absentee ballots are counted, as far as I know.
Electronic ballot. Some operational issues in our news recently.
I purposefully voted absentee, in order to have a paper ballot. I do not trust AT ALL electronic voting, which is not only apt to break down, but also vulnerable to fraudulent manipulation.
every vote up until now has proven a waste. i'm a bit skeptical.
I lived in Florida in 2000 and I know that the vote was not considered for alot of people, I am still not sure if the vote is rigged or not
Hudson county is full of corrupt politicians. I voted there. Its where Menedez and Corrizine live. They both support Hillary.
I have no reason to believe that it wasn't counted properly. At least I don't live in Florida...
because of how elections can be rigged, short of a clearly presented (candidates, etc. making sure that the ballot is not confusing) paper and pencil ballot that is counted accurately by a person(s), i am always somewhat leery of whether my vote really is
I have no specific reason to believe it wasn't counted as I intended and I'm more confident with a paper ballot (like I used this time) than with touchscreen voting (which I used for early voting in 2004).
Simple faith in people doing there job,I guess.
I think every vote counts, even if it's not the one that wins.
I'm never sure that all votes are counted accurately.
Not done on a machine but by my hand and by mail.
nothing actually...after the 2000 Florida fiasco
I don't have any reason to doubt that my vote was not counted
Voting by mail is rather new, a few years, we have been doing it. I don't think these ballots get counted on election day. I like voting by mail, sitting at the kitchen table and making decisions.
It is a paper ballot eaten by a machine for which I get no receipt.
I'm just hopeful the thick lines did not detract from countability of my votes.
Since it's absentee, you never know if they got it!
The poll worker put my ballot in with all the others in the box. I guess they could have done something else with it if they wanted to.
Haven't had or heard any complaints regarding my polling place.
I trust the machines more than the humans.
when I placed my ballot in the machine, it registered number 745. I saw the ballot being counted.
Who I voted for was voted as winner but I have heard of many problems involving the acutal counting of votes.
Everything worked - the people, the equipment
It's an old lever machine, probably used for decades.
when you hear of all the voter frad going on you never know if your vote is counted.
Because of all the problems in the past that aren't recognized until after the polls close.
I marked a paper Ballot and then inserted it into an optical Scanner. So even if the scanner breaks they still have a hard copy.
Trust the poll workers as I know some of them.
because i did not get a receipt!!! Why not??
I don't trust any of the polling methods 100%. So in my opinion, there is always a slight chance the polls were (or are) skewed.
i've not been too confident in my vote counting since the state went to diebold electronic votes.
I don't trust electronic voting systems, which are subject to hacking and subterfuge. I think the entire process should go back to a paper ballot, nationwide.
The fact that there is a (machine-counted) paper ballot.
The people at the polling place seem to know what they were doing....
Absentee's haven't been counted yet, as of 2/6/08. It's always worrisom that it takes awhile to get those counted - and will they all get counted?
I just don't trust voting machines now since bush stole the election in 2000 and 2004. You know they can make receipts. The gd bushies won't let them. It's like a third world country now. Look what the r's have done to us.
i don't trust any thing to do with the government really
There have been many Republican voters in San Diego County that have been disenfranchised of their votes due to what appears to be fraud.
I arrived shortly after 6AM to avoid crowds, and we are rural so we had a paper ballot. Therefore the only machine that has to work properly for my vote to be counted was the scanning machine. I believe those odds are high.
The voting machine had a confirmation screen. I checked to make sure.
Because whoever works the polls I hope have a concience
Assumptions need be made as to the determination of my vote. The first assumption is that all is well and the ballot will be counted as it was cast. Then we hear of computer programs that alter votes etc. I suppose one could assume that this could happen.
No reason for them not to in Georgia-ot a place where Diebold can effectively cheat as it is at once a red state and a black state. Results here don't vary much.
One never knows, as there is no "receipt" involved, whether a vote was actually counted, or the envelope received.
I generally believe and trust the voting system. The past 2 presidential elections have left questions in my mind about tampering in the voting process.
There's no history of coruption in our town.
When I tried to vote electronically, I had been given a Republican Primary ballot. They were only able to use the Cast Blank Ballot option to correct this. I was then given a provisional ballot.
I have heard that absentee ballots are often skipped if they are presumed to not be capable of changing the outcome. However I chose to vote absentee because my polling place is located in an inconvenient location for me to get too. It used to be only a f
We turned in the ballot at the polling place the day of the election. Whether or not it will be counted will (as always) depend on the efficiency and dependability of the people involved in handling the ballots at all stages. (In my opinion, balloting by
I HAVE EARLY VOTED IN THE PAST AND HAD READ IN THE PAPER AND I UNDERSTOOD THE ARTICLE TO SAY THAT OUR COUNTY ELECTIONS OFFICE ONLY COUNTS EARLY OR ABSENTEE VOTES IF THE MAIN ELECTION IF TOO CLOSE TO CALL OR IF THE NUMBER OF EARLY VOTES AND ABSENTEE VOTES
Corporate ownership of election equipment makes me very nervous. They don't share their code. I believe the government should have an independent commission that completely controls ALL aspects of the voting system. This is not an area that should have be
I live in a very conservative and relatively small precinct. There were problems with the voting machines, so they did a hand-marked ballot. These problems were uniform across all the precincts that I heard about from clients who voted during the day. I d
the state of Arizona uses a very simple ballot and it is very hard to screw it up. It is a paper ballot and you connect two arrows for your pick.
I don't completely trust the process and feel like more powerful, well known candidates may somehow hijack votes against them. I know that sounds a little conspiracy theory but I can't help but believe it may be true.
You never know, These days theres alot of cheating going on. But I'd like to think that my ballot was counted. i wish there was a way to verify. Even going to the polls, theres still that chance that your vote may not be counted. At least it was a paper b
I just don't trust the whole system anymore.
I didn't encounter any problems and I didn't hear of anyone else having any problems.
i don't know what votes are counted as delegate vote
I trust the voting machine (it's the mechanical kind, not computerized) and the city workers.
OCR readers are used at my polling place. One never knows with machines.
This has been a democratic precinct for over 50 years and there is no incentive for anyone to bust that.
I still don't trust electronic voting equipment to not be manipulated.
i don't trust the computers, but what can one do?
The ballot required that you fill in an oval and then place it in a box via a mechanical feeder. I would feel more confident if the votes were registered electronically when I voted. Some boxes could get lost and some votes could be missed the way we did
I asked for and received a paper ballot, but there is no real way to tell if your vote has been counted.
You never know when you use a voting machine.
Well, I had not indication when the old machines were in use either. Back then, you pulled the lever, and hoped it got registered. So, I suppose I am an optimist.
The ballot was scanned and the counter of ballots cast increased by one.
John Edwards pulled out of the election after I had voted--so my vote was "wasted".
I knew Hillary was a head in the polls, so I felt like my vote was helping her with the margin
My county uses a direct recording Micro Vote machine with no paper trail. The machine is subject to malfunctions and hacking and has no paper back up.
I always vote absentee because I am disabled and never encountered any trouble but am I SURE -- not really.
The machine worked like it was supposed to.
Like anything mechanical. something can go wrong.
I saw no irregularities & had no problems with the scanner
I trust that the op-scan ballots are easy to verify in case of doubt. They offer a great paper trail and one that I can verify before I cast the ballot, unlike the recorded paper trail for the touch-systems which the voter does not see. The only reason I
I just feel that way. THings seem on the up and up.
It was a lesser of the evils vote on my part. I dislike the 2 front runners and just couldn't bring myself to vote for either of them.
One never knows what happens with the votes after they receive them. I don't have much trust in the voting process after what the Bush administration did to get elected. At least they got rid of the electronic machines this time. I will vote absentee from
not that confident. it seemed like voting for the pre-school set. connecting the parts of the arrow was like helping my kids with their preschool home work! there are very elderly judges at my voting place which is the basement of a private home on the ne
There were no obvious problems with the machines used, but I'm aware that those used in TN are not very secure.
good polling people same set up as always
I personally know most of the Board of Elections etc.
Lack of organization and the way my wife was brushed off and not allowed to vote due to their error.
with computers, I sometimes wonder. Who knows if a person could alter the numbers
no electronic/paperless voting machines were used
I always have some reservations, epecially about electronic voting, so I cannot be completely confident.
I did not use an electronic voting machine.
California seems to have a problem in keeping it polling places open. Since I voted absentee my ballot had more chance to be counted if it doesn't get lost in the mail.
I just assumed that it was, though I am concerned about fraud.
I had no reason to think it would not be counted as intended, but to be absolutely sure, one would have to be there when it was counted. We have very good voting machines and a good system in Oklahoma.
It was fed into a slot; who knows what happens in a box?
Given the scandalous ineptitude or outright corruption of the last two presidential races, one has to wonder how legit the process is there days. Sad, but true.
I hope it was, but it is government so that should answer that question
There is too much at risk for those in charge to leave it up to the elctorate to decide on matters that may affect them and their botom line
if i missed one of the holes, I did not know if i missed something
You never know what happens with your electronic ballot after you cast your ballot.
living in Illinois I realize it is a democratic state and n ost are exgreme liberals. I don't think aat times a republican doesn't have a chance
A friend said that she was called from the election bureau that she did not sign the envelop to verify her signature and asked her to go to her polling to vote a provisional ballot.
There was nothing unusual. No reason to think that my vote wouldn't count.
BECAUSE OF WHAT I HAVE HEAR ABOUT IN THE PASS. THERE ARE SOME PEOPLE WHO CHEAT!!!!!
Because I voted for my candidate and would assume that my vote was counted.
I trust the local system, and I sent my absentee ballot in a week in advance.
Because the news media reported that Obama is the winner in Alabama.
After Bush mess in Florida who can be trusted??
The machines used in NYC are very antiquated and rely on a person to manually record the tabulations at poll closing. Seems ripe for mistakes.
I BELEIVE MY VOTE WAS COUNTED AS INTENDED BECAUSE WE STILL HAVE THE OLD RELIABLE VOTING MACHINES, NOT THE NEW CROOKED ONES.
I've never had problems at our polling place but i don't trust anything 100%
I voted in the City of St. Louis, a primarily democrat area and who knows what games were played. I hope that it was not tampered with but I wasn't even asked for a driver's license to vote. Anyone could have voted multiple times. I am not as worried in t
I somewhat trust the electronic voting machines more than I do a human being counting
Just faith in the system. I have to take their word for it.
Display of my vote cast on the touch-screen monitor.
I said somewhat because I know some elections are rigged
Placed in ballot box and trusted that it was counted properly
Have not heard of any problems at the polling place.
There were no problems with the voting machine, but there was no verifiable paper trail.
Being an absentee ballot, there is a small doubt that it was properly handled by whomever handled it.
I really don't trust these electronic machines. I prefer the old paper "chads"
I just worry about the electronic factors, scanning of ballot, software glitches. I try not to think about how easy malfeasance is when using computers to tally votes.
I was concerned about the ballot making it through the mail and also the accuracy of the human counters.
There were paper ballots to back up the electronic counting machine, so it would be a lot harder for someone to rig the vote.
We've never had problems before, so I'm sure everything was counted as intended.
I feel like it was not close enough for them to count every single ballot
In our county there was a problem with the machines that count the ballots. Each had to be counted by hand.
I am not sure I trust the technology. I had to complete a paper form and then it was scanned. I doubt that the scan is 100% accurate.
I have heard that other areas experienced problems
ANY TIME A MACHINE OR COMPUTER IS USED I QUESTION ITS VALIDITY. I WOULD PREFER A MANUAL COUNT.
It is computer generated so I do trust it, however Jersey has a reputation for "fixed elections".
sometimes you never know what will happen. You vote and hope it goes as it should.
They have had problems at polls in the past in other states
Because Hillary won Tennessee. I just am waiting for the presidental election. That is when my confidence will be in question.
I just take it for granted that my vote will be registered
I didn't here of a problem at the polling place. A long, with others I believe that my vote counted.
Because of the type of voting machine used.
limited turnout therefore every vote counted
There has just been enough things happen in the last elections that makes me alway wonder if things are as they are suppose to be. Gives a reason to pause
the machine appeared to work correctly/ I finger touched clinton, and an x lit up, and then I pushed vote, and the x disappeared.
The person in charge in AZ of the voting/ballot-counting
I conducted an exit poll and the voting trends matched those reported by the precinct.
There is no paper trail. The area I live in is a Republican stronghold and I don't trust the Republican machine in this town.
Right now we are in the midst of making history whether we choose a black or a woman. Either way the odds are stacked against us, that is what makes me "somewhat: confident.
It ran through the machine with no problems
I don't like the way the poling system is set up. I think it should be all ectronically processed
I have voted in every election in the same location since 1999. The poll worker could not find my name within their computer system. After a lengthy search, she found my information. If there was this much difficulty, I have concern as to the competency o
Well I always wonder if it really gets counted because I don't know if they fix it somehow to go a different way. I am sure they don't though.
Thats a good question I even made to myself!. Believe and trust I guess, because I can't probe if it counts.
I have no reason to think that my vote wasn't counted as I intended.
There were no problems in the voting process, that I know of.
I guess I just have to trust the system on this. I know my candadite was not going to win on this one, but I am one of many thousands that voted for him and because of that, my voice was heard
voting machines appeared to function well and the people operating them seemed to know how to do that.
I have been an Election Judge in my precinct many times in past years. We always counted absentee ballots after the polls officially closed so I am reasonably sure that my vote was counted.
the counter/register on the ballot deposit machine
I put it in the machine when I was finished voting and it was accepted. I live in a small town, doubt there is any corruption of any type.
I hope. That's about it. One can never be sure how or if one's vote was counted, given all the stories that appear in the media of voter fraud and such.
Never had a problem before there 60102 St Margaret Mary in Algonquin Il
It was done on an electronic machine-???
There are plenty of election judges and candidate representatives on hand when votes are tabulated. They should be able to spot any tabulating problems.
I would have no reason to believe otherwise.
The precinct/poll worker was concerned the electronic reading machine was not correctly reading the ballots.
With all the problems occurring throuhout the Nation, unless there are actual paper ballots that can be physically confirmed, I am concerned.
It is my understanding that paper ballots are better tracked than electronic
I hope they are honest people at the polling place.
Quite frankly I do not trust the system after all the voting machine problems nationwide, and people whom are able to register the same day in some states. Every election there are votes from dead people, convicts, illegal aliens. Something has to be done
I do not think paperless ballots are definitive. The State ran into problems during local elections and ballots were stuck together on recount.
Only faith alone that once the electronic machine swallowed my ballot it would be counted properly.
i am suspicious of voter fraud after the past elections
The government in Utah is run by the Mormon Church/by proxy. Mitt Romney would have won by a land slide even if no one voted. That is my opinion. My vote was most likely counted, but Mormons always get what they want in this state.
I do not trust the integrity of the computer voting machines. They have been proved to be easily hacked and compromised.
I live in a small comunity and I am confident they did everything in their power to get it right.
my polling place used optical scan machines, which leaves a written record of my vote
Faith in the US, tempered somewhat by the shenanigans of the 2000 election and allegations of the 2004 elections...
No evidence of a "fix" during - or after - voting.
Since I wasn't part of the voting system, I couldn't be present at the final counting, and hence I couldn't evaluate that part of the system.
Not sure about anything anymore when it come to elections
I was voting very early on election day. I was told that voting early before election day my vote might not be counted so, I'm fairly sure it counted and it was a paper ballot. Maybe I wouldn't be so confidient of my vote had it been later and more crowde
I expect that the people working are honest. The only thing that made me "somewhat" confident is the scanning machine that you put your ballot in after you complete it was not working.
It counted on the machine. I hope it went were it was suppose to.
Simple paper ballot, counting machine verified the ballot was read correctly.
I don't trust our present election commission officials in our county.
I really don't trust the voting system in getting the votes to the right person since what had occured in the Florida voting of the Al Gore verses George Bush for the "President of the United States of America".
I just feel suspicious, living in such a Republican area.
they couldn't explain the diffference in options when voting as non-partisan, independent, or democratic - this led to much confusion
I had never voted early before and was somewhat concerned about when and how the votes would be counted. This was not my regular polling place.
We used electronic voting machines I believe that all ballots should be hand counted and done on paper because technology is too easily manipulated.
used an electronic voting machine, but it had a receipt tape so it made me somewhat confident that my vote counted
Nationwide reports of voter miscounts by machine counters and republican cheating by destroying ballots in past elections
I would have been less confident if it was an electronic voting machine. I was more confident as I had a paper ballot.
i don't know many different ways a vote can be counted
I have no reason to think otherwise at this time.
the libertarian candadate is running unopposed and that is my party
nothing specific, just normal skepticism relating to stories of vote fraud.
You just never know when Politics are involed.
I hear so many stories on the news,sometimes I just wonder if everything is OK where I vote.
I'v had trouble voting before, in cobb county ( Georgia ).
There was some problem when I went in to vote, but they were working on the problem with confidence. I am not wholly confident, because no ID is ever asked for. I think it should be.
I have heard too many isues about the voting machines that have not been addressed
The machine accepted my vote and the helper outside the machine also indicated that my vote went through
It is an electronic voting machine, and I do not have complet confidence, there should be a paper ballet.
Articles I have read re voting machine manipulation makes it impossible to feel very confident.
used paper ballot that was scanned - as much as any voting machine controlled by software and can be hacked.
I entered it into the machine and the ballot was counted but I am not sure the vote was counted as the way I voted.
I am fairly well confident but you just never know so I wasn't going to say 100%.
The paper ballot went into a machine that I assume was counted correctly.
it is a very easy ballot. fill in the arow put in machine
I knew a couple of the people helping at the election, and my ballot was scanned and dropped into a locked box.
The election workers were all known to me personally. The voting machine was equiped with a printed ballot which could have been audited.
the machines here do not give you a receipt..a common complaint in many states. The machine buzzes and shows what number you were in voting that day.
It's too much trouble to falsify a ballot for a candidate who's dropped out of the race.
I heard the machine click when I pressed the "vote" button.
Paper trail on electronic voting machine.
The pre-register card, with address, personal signature, the personal information that only I could fill-out, and the computer card. This election will tell the truth for all of us, and hopefully never again will the Supreme Court need to make a decision
I don't have any really valid reason for thinking it wasn't counted
Even though we have a paper ballot read by a machine here in Mass., all the news about the new machines and the disputed elections in 2000 and 2004 have made me doubt how accurate the counting really is.
I don't know what is done after the polls close .
no touch computers and we have a paper trail
you never can be sure about these things.
I submitted a paper ballot by mail. I can only assume it was counted, but there has been no history of voting problems here that I know of.
I mailed the absentee ballot back far in advance of the due date.
Because Delaware has never had any issues that I'm aware of with the mishandling of votes. We vote by voting machine, not paper ballot.
It was based on past experienced, the ballot was done correctly, and the voting machine appeared reliable.
Because you never know this day and age when or if somebody can tamper with things. Look at Florida...what a joke.
the process was easy and fast and the machines are updated
There seem to be so many problems with voting that one really does not know for sure how their vote was counted. Amd I know that students at Brewton Parker College, in Mount Vernon, GA. were not able to vote because the school did not do anything to infor
I used paper ballots, and most of the people who voted used paper ballots. They had a machine to vote on but no one trusted it.
Used computerized Sequois machines and viewed paper ballot but did not receive a copy of the ballot.
I have no reason to believe that it wasn't - however, since I can't be sure, I put somewhat.
no paper receipt. don't trust the touch screen
I just didn't see anything odd. No reason for my vote to be changed. It could have been. I do know that those Diebold voting machines are changed many times and elections are stolen. Criminal. No honest elections. They are controlled by globalist conglome
I trust the poll workers. But I'm still somewhat skeptical of new machines and their susceptibility to manipulation.
Well, I don't know if it got lost in the mail or not, but the odds are it made it and was counted properly.
Equipment and/or human error, etc. After voting I usually will hear a story or two on the TV about problems in various precincts--usually in deprived neighborhoods.
Equipment worked properly (as best as I can tell) -- no follow-up in newspapers/tv indicating any problems in local precinct or city-wide voting
As far as I know it was counted, but I wish we got a paper print-out afterwards
You can never be totally sure with these voting machines. They are iffy, in my opinion.
The touch-schreen electronic machines are not very secure. Take as evidence the news feature CNN ran recently in which it took very little effort for a university professor and two of his students to crack the security of this type of system and affect th
The "chads of Florida" put doubt in many peoples minds.
Electronic with paper trail but do they spot audit that the paper and elec. are the same?
This is Arkansas--A Democrat Controled state where Bill Clinton still has strong influence,much to my dissappointment.
I used a paper ballot, not a Diebold machine, I watched the ballot go into the box, I know and trust the person who was entrusted with the job of gathering and delivering the boxes and have no real reason to suspect that the counters would somehow, random
No reported problems in the past with the equipment.
I don't really care for the other canidates.....
Massachusetts doesn't use computer voting machines
Computerized machines, although ostensibly confirming your vote with a paper record, can still be hacked to falsify results.
media stories about other voting issues at other times
It is New Jersey a corrupt state so you never know
encountered no problems and no hx of problems that i am aware of
Sometimes there are issues electronically with the ballot machines. You can never be 100 percent confident that your vote will be counted.
I think the vote was registered as I intended, but without a paper ballot for me to review or fill out, it is really up to faith. I don't think the election system should be run on faith, it should be run on unalterable facts.
I live in a primarily Republican area, so the odds of some liberal tampering with the vote are minimal.
I would hope that the voting process would be honest and my vote would count. Also Obama did win the delegates in GA.
the person who i voted for won the demecratic vote in my state
everything went through ok with the machines. I can only home that my vote counted even thought it was early voting that I participated in.
No written record of the vote being properly tabulated
I used a paper ballot and saw the counter on the machine register my ballot when I deposited it into the ballot machine.
Vote was counted using optical scan equipment, which is run by a computer program. District votes are tabulated centrally using a computer program. These programs are treated as proprietary by the vendors, meaning that there is no effective check that the
I voted on electronic machine, We never know if the machine has been tampered with, I think it should be law thar a paper trail is printed in all elections held in the U.S.
trust in the system i guess ... and barack won my state ... you really don't KNOW
I know the people running the election and you also need a bit of trust in the counting machines.
Because it was so fast and easy. Also Obama won the Georgia primary.
it is a small town and we have never had any problems with the electronic scanners.
I have no reason to suspect otherwise. All seemed on the up and up.
No real reason - I am just not sure I totally trust the political election procedures.
It was not a local election where fraud is rampant
Everyone I know voted for hillary. Obma won
There's always a possibility for voter registrar fraud no matter where you live. Hillary Clinton won the California Primary, though as indicated I voted for Barack Obama as did most of my Independent and Democratic friends. Let me put it this way: it woul
I pretty sure it was counted beause of the reading machine.Hopefully, it worked 100%
all went well- but after I pass it in, I do not know what happens. I was surprised at our state's results.
Electronic scanning equipment was used; however, there is no receipt, so I can only be "somewhat" confident. No matter the method, I've always been only "somewhat" confident that the counts are what the voters intended.
I di not believe the delegate system accurately reflects the vote of the people
Even though I voted, the way voting is set up, it's the people in college that make the vote count. A person should be able to vote for the person they want and that vote should count. Thats the only way it should be. These other people vote the way they
I have no reason to think otherwise. The only reason I don't sy totally confident is because we have electric machines in my so there is no paper trail.
She won our state in the voting results and I also received a receipt from voting, so I feel confident that our county has a paper trail of voter numbers to go along with the computer results.
There's always a chance of a problem, either intentional or not. It does not mean electronic voting is better or worse. If someone wants to mess with the votes, there's probably a way.
Ron Paul ended up with a slight percentage, and I know that there were several thousand people who supported Ron Paul in Northwest Arkansas alone.
I put the ballot into the counter myself and I believe that it was counted.
because so much has been going on with ballots and ballot boxes lately.
I voted but the way the process is...who knows
My vote was not counted right away since my name was not on the ballot list.
The uncertenties of past voting results and problems that emerged from it.
I wasn't sure if the machine was supposed to keep my ballot or spit it back out.
The light lit up after I voted. However, I am not 100% certain it was recorded. How would I know?
I just don't have 100% confidence in existing polling equipment, especially if the equipment is utilizing the most current, stable and dependable technologies.
There is just the worry my vote didn't count. Nothing specific.
cause there were no problems at the poll
I do not trust that all votes are counted just like the last election the votes was not counted because the equipment and the people who are in control rigged the votes for their personal favorite.
If all the votes are counted as intended, then I am sure my vote will be included. However, if there are any shady dealings like during the Gore/Bush election, then I am not sure where my vote will end up, if it even gets counted at all.
Because of polling issues during the Gore v. Bush election am not totally confident in the process.
Heard of some problems with the voting machines.
No reason not to believe it was counted properly other than my general distrust for politicians.
I was somewhat confused about the process of selecting delegates. I was concerned that my candidate, who received the most popular votes, would not win the delegates from our state. I read about how the delegation selection process occurs, but I was still
I feel that everything was done properly
In the past there has never been any major problems @ my voting location, so I assume that my vote would be counted as intended.
It went in the box fine and our ballot had nothing else on it [no other offices being voted on]
You never Know what goes on behind the scenes
Because I feel after Bush got in office that anyone can cheat if they want too even with the newer kinds of voting machines.
i am just skeptical about voting and the corruptness of voting centers and politicians but i hope that the people we have are being honest
I hate the machines. They are difficult to use, and although they have a function allowing you to print your vote, yet you can not print it for yourself. I find it absurd that Illegal Aliens can walk into the Utah Driver License division with fake social
i just figured i twoul;f be but i''m not possitive
there may be someone backstage pullin strings
Because it was a mail in ballot/ we did not think the machines were tamper proof
well the hope that they counted them thats what the supossed to do
just feel like it was cant make one specific reason
i put the thing in there like i was supposed to
i would hope when i mailed it in it was counted
just ah the fact i sent it by mail hope it got there in time
well the negive side about was in the past when votes wernt counted in diffrent states
not sure that they count the abdsentee ballots unless a close elevction
just because the way some of the emails went into the radio
i think if enough people vote fpr a party they will come out on top
i don''t trust the machines that do the counting it is to easy to rig them
I used the machine and it said the vote was registered
i geuss previous questions about individuals votes not being counted in varios precincts
i do not really have any reason i hope it did
i hope that there was still honesty in the partys but not much
because of the recent votes not being counted as they were suppose too
i was confident that they did a good job
its all computerized and no paper to fill out
because it took 5 to 6 times times of me pressing the button for it to take
i like to believe it was even though you can have problems with electronics
i just don''t know how much wait our state has
once the found the ballots it counted alrite
it was upsetting to me about florida so i hope my vote was counted right
well it''s an automatic machine, but with all i''ve heard about them i don''t know
the county clerk i do not have any confidence in her
first time i used the electronics and looked like it went fine
theres too much trouble out here with votes
i do not recall seeing hillary clintons name on my ballot
new york state not ohio and florda where they intentionally have people vote, no two voting booths
i voted on republican and voted for a canidate of my choice and my country gets votes to where i wanted it too
i think we live in a small rural town in people know eachother so it was done accuratly
I am hoping that my vote counted but I can not be sure abouit alot of things these days
Thery were watchful and careful and the machines were working well
i trust the system that it will be counted as intended
there was one old landy that did something to the machine so i dont know
i just dont understand this puliical thing anymore its all about the money
There has never been to the best of my knowledge any problems in the district I voted in but there has been in other districts
I do not know/ I have not thought about it
I do not think that there has been many problems with absetee ballot collections in New York state
i think everything went to the right polace I just do not know if it made that much of a difference
I have no basis for that/ I know there could be things wrong/ I guess I just assumed that they counted it
last time they didn''t count all the votes and it made alot of people upset
from what i''ve seen on television they have had problems in some areas
well there is no paper trail for what my vote was
i live in a different state and they have a machine that takes in the ballot and tabulaes it i''m used to electronic voting my current state has the machine i am not sure of it
would just hope it would i would hope i can ahve faith in them
i just dont know if all the votes actually get counted or not| you have no way of knowing for sure
hte election commitee put the delegates on the card
that is just the way the political field works
well for one thing he won in the state im living so he evedently got vote for him
i gues sthings hurd i have no direct reason im just going to say not 100% confident
just cause of the amount of people that where there and the way it was runed
i guess it counted it but i have no way to know
the machines are just easiy to do the opposit of what you want

Reason 'not too confident' vote counted as intended
I don't trust the election as a whole, but I vote in blind faith.
I THINK THAT THE VOTING SYSTEM SHOULD BE TOTAL VOTES NOT DELEGATES. THE SAME GOES FOR GENERAL ELECTION, IT SHOULD BE POPLULAR VOTE THAT COUNTS
I believe without a paper trail that votes can be and possibly were changed, for instance, in New Hampshire. I have no idea whether that is the case.
Ever since the Florida and Ohio non confirmed voting acuratecy and the no paper trail electronic voting machines; I do not have confidence that any vote will be place where actually intented. Without a paper trail there is no confirmation or acurate recou
I personally think that voting is a crock. It no longer means anything. But I vote just in case.
After voting I put my ballot in the machine next to the booth. The poll worker then told me I shouldn't have put my ballot in that particular machine. I told her that no one had told me not to and that it was sitting right next to the booth. She said that
Various documentaries and news pieces I have seen about this have made me less confident and the 2000 elections made many feel vulnerable and now with the electronic machines one fears tampering and a lack of a paper trail may also result in ones vote bei
the way the media projects the winners when the polls close
People in San Diego were told they were registered as Independents, not Republicans, this was happening all over San Diego. This is a big Mitt Romney area, two radio talk shows (Roger Hedgcock & Rick Roberts) took numerous phone calls & e-mails from Repub
I have become rather paranoid due to the vast numbers of voting "irregularities" that pepper the news media.
it really doesn't matter, I'm a registered independent, but wanted to vote for a democratic candidate, but forgot to change my registration in time.
They gave me a card which i put in the machine. There was no printout or anyway for me to verify that my vote had been cast.
Because the electoral delegates votes count the most, which I think unfair
The state of Tennessee is a corrupt state and I do not have any confidence. For example, all mine, my husband and our son's information was on the computer that was stolen from the election commision office here in Nashville. The password was taped to the
Used a paper ballot. Not confident in the system
Electronic voting machines without paper back-ups
It was an electronic voting machine with no paper trail. There are no formal certification procedure for this system. Any electronic system can be compromized.
I don't think they take each an every polling place and count exactly what is on each machine. I'm sorry but I feel this way.
Because it was a stinkin' Diebold machine with no paper trail and they can be easily compromised
Because they used a Diebold electronic scanner.
I later found out that if you voted for delegates not attached to whom you voted for in the main election, your vote was thrown out. I was originally an Edwards supporter, and I voted for 2 of the 8 delegates for Edwards delegates as a token of my support
I am still suspicious that touch screens and the results possibly could be manipulated by an outside source.
It seemed as if certain candidates were being declared winners in the state far too early.
The amount of incompetence I was surrounded with. Worse voting experience in my life and I'm 66.
Since he had already dropped out, it is possible that, although on the ballot, they will not count it.
There doesn't seem to be any checks and balances in place for mailed in ballots.
Seems they had lots of problems in many areas and possible in absentee ballots also
i believe the delegates/caucus vote the way they want with little regard for their precincts' preferences.
I have long thought elections are fixed.
Due to massive storm counting was delayed and they say they might have them counted by the end of the week. They don't seem to be too serious about it.
Reading and listening to talk radio on how the election is rigged. Further, reading the blogs in Arizona on how they would not vote for McCain, yet he wins the primary election. This made me very suspicious.
I already noted the news reports claim that as an Independent apparently I was supposed to check something off that I don't remember seeing and therefore did not check.
I feel that ballots in the mail are not as reliable as the polling place
I'm an Independent and I wasn't able to vote for the presidency!!! I was Very upset and voting only for the Prpisitons was a waste to me!! I wasn't happy with how I had to vote and I've voted the smae for Many, Many Years. I haven't moved in 36 years from
I believe that the main stream media has decided who they want as president and they will do what ever it takes to make it happen.
I beliveve that alot of people on the Republican Party Voted on Dem. ballots for some one that they thought McCain could BEAT!!
I live in Republican state and they keep close tabs on other affilitations so don't trust them. Very controlling environment in Utah.
i feel there are powerful people who don't want Ron Paul to win. The MSM don't want him to get elected since he is not given equal time and is not treated as well as the other candidates.
Hope mostly. I don't trust machines without a paper trail for a recount.
Local history of discarding count for lower-rated candidates.
I am not a Democrat but voted for John Edwards as a vote AGAINST Hillary Clinton, and Edwards left the race before thw primary.
My candidate did not win in my state. I can only hope he will hold on to win in the general election. Heaven help this country if Hillary Clinton is elected or Mr. Huckabee
I really question whether our votes are given to the right people we vote for ever since what happened with the voting situation in Florida between Al Gore verses George Bush for the election of the "President of the United States of America". It was odd
Received the ballot a couple of days before Feb. 5 and they said it would count as long as it was postmarked by midnight Feb. 5.
I don't trust the new computerized voting system. Anyone with a little time and effort could hack into it and change every thing
Prior hic-cups by the OC Registrar of Voters
Delaware is still using unprotected electronic voting machines that have no way to be recounted or checked that my vote registered. People do not trust such systems after the last two elections.
There were some serious problems in Riverside County including defective absentee ballots that were torn by the counting machines and could not be easily counted.
don"t trust the system .It appears The election was a fribacation of the news media,
An electronic voting machine was used. I don't trust them. I think all votes should be backed up by paper ballots, with a copy going to the voter.
I am involved in Ron Paul meetup groups and I have seen thousands of people in support of Dr. Paul. Statistically for every person who actually takes action on a issue there are 3-5 more who support such issue. We should have had many more votes than rece
the electronic vote counter would not take my card. I placed it in the direction as the lady before me and it would not take mine, it took hers. she even commented that it took hers in that direction. i turned my completely around before it would take me.
my vote may have been overlooked to get better results for the other party
The electoral college makes me uncomfortable. Would prefer a popular voting system.
Histoically, the peoples vote has been compromised by those intending to do harm in the past. It would not surprise me if my vote was not counted.
I am a republican in a democratic county. The ballot did not get mailed out on time. The clerk told me to use a pen instead of a pencil.
I don't trust electronic voting.Although my precinct has paper ballots,they are electronically scanned without a paper trail.
the paper ballots were flawed in Florida in the 00' election, they could have been flawed here, I am mainly skeptical because with around 80% or so reporting in Virginia there wasn't one vote for Ron Paul, thats bs.
Lacks history of the Sec. of State in Arkansas
I am unfamiliar with the new voting process. There was just a few cards scattered on the table and one was handed to me. The poll worker stated, "Oh, I guess this is your card as if she was uncertain." The machine stated your ballot has been cast, but the
As I said, we have new technology this year. I put my vote paper in the machine upside down (by mistake) and did not see the counter move. I really hope my vote was counted but have no way of verifying it.
a lot of times I wonder if the machines do the job in the wright way or if some one could have total the votes in another way. How stright and ture are these voting machines.
because i voted early ballot you have no0 way of knowing if that ballot was couted
because it was proventianal i don;t think they could have counted it as quick as the results came back
i have never had to put imy vote in to a plastic box in a sealed envolpe
because the apointed a jackass to run the country
229 voted for ron paul in my county and 3 are from my house
because computers are not reliableway to count ballots because tyhere are subjhect to hacking brakeing down and bugs
i was looking at the delegates and they could make th e determination
its counted when it comes down to it if i did not vote it would not have mattered
there is too much contreversy going on with all of the candidates leaves you wonderting what is really going on
if you see the documentary and see how they fix the elections and the media directs you in a different direction and the voting points
i dont feel it was i dont feel they ever count, vote anyways
Just the process in which they do the voting/ the electoral college, that sort of thing
the demicartic is not listen to the little guy any more

Reason 'not at all confident' vote counted as intended
No papertrail, so who knows if the information was saved correctly.
because of the electorial vote and that does not include my vote
I live in California, we have a voter fraud problem and politicians that encourage illegals and felons to vote.
In my area, the vast majority of the posters and stickers are emblazoned with Ron Paul's name. Political conversations happen quite frequently at my office, and I meet or see 5-20 people daily in addition to my co-workers, and the topic of "who are you vo
Because Edwards had dropped out of the race
Wrong ballot, bizarre voting rule of "connect the arrow" and only a thin line would be counted.
I have no idea how the votes are handled.
Edwards had already "suspended" his campaign, but i coulodn't bring myself to vote Republican, or for either of the Democratic frontrunners. too late, i discovered a "no preference" option at the bottom of the ballot.
Problems with folks having their political affiliation being changed prior to voting, causing that person not to be able to vote. An American citizen was not allowed to vote because someone screwed up, and I mean alot of folks, so why would I be confident
The ballot was not clear. There was a place to vote for candidates and then the candidates names were listed again with other names underneath and there was no clear description as to what they were for or what we were supposed to do. I voted for Ron Paul
The total confusion at the voting site ,an accident at the location caused a telephone pole to topple and the polling place had to relocate to a place with no parking, total confusion !
Mailed in early ballot then learned my candidate dropped out three days later. My vote was wasted.
The black box I put my vote into not only provides no proof that it correctly took in my vote, or transfered it correctly to the actual count, but a poll worker plugs a cartridge into the machine after every vote. How am I to know this doesn't change my,
There's no way I can be confident that my vote is counted or counted correctly due to there being no way to ensure this, such as a paper record of my vote. My vote was encoded on to a credit-card sized card that only a machine can read, so once I deposit
Because the way the elections are set up in America. There are people who votes carries more power than mine. So this will be the last time I vote in a American election.
I did not get a receipt and there seems to be no way to verify who I voted for. Given the past two Presidential elections with all of the fraud, I have absolutely no confidence that my vote for Barak Obama went to Barak Obama.
You really want to know? I think that, not only is NJ totally corrupt, but the rest of the country is just as bad.
From the history of the corrupt government that is in office now.
Tennessee is using computerized (electronic) voting, with NO paper backup. Therefore, no one can be sure of what became of his/her vote. Hopefully this situation will be corrected prior to the November presidential election.
Because paper ballots weren't available and there is no way to check accountability with the electronic voting machines.
opti-scan machines where used to count my vote.
Individuals votes never count!!! The electorial process/ assigning of delegates for conventions in a whole is a sham. The entire voting process needs to be tweeked, the campaign period is way too long, six months is enough. Then they need to count actual
